Very true! Luckily for now you need a high viral load before getting sick but, I just plan to forever mask because people are gross. 😷

I remember being tested annually as a child in the US in the 1990s. How long before we have to back to that? I worry for my kids and the fact we are quite close to the Kansas hotspot geographically.

If we had BCGs when we were children, are we still immune?

Noted, however I'm Canadian and have no intention of traveling to Kansas.
